新型冠狀病毒爆發將對金融市場和全球經濟造成影響

大多數的受訪者都認為新型冠狀病毒的爆發對金融市場和全球經濟產生影響，有84%日本受訪者同意，再來是澳洲(80%)、義大利(78%)，俄羅斯(76%)，加拿大(76%)和法國(73％)。在較不認同新型冠狀病毒對全球經濟影響的美國與英國亦分別有62%和60%的受訪者認同。如果按照收入高低進一步分析，可以發現收入較高的人更認同新型冠狀病毒對經濟的影響。

大多數人都認為，疫情不會在短期內受到控制。只有不到十分之一的人疫情現在已經獲得控制，而高達十分之七認為疫情仍需數月或更長時間才能被控制。日本尤為悲觀，有88%認為需要數月或更長時間才能控制疫情，而在俄羅斯和美國則是60%。

Japan is the mostly likely to agree that the coronavirus outbreak will have an impact on the financial markets and the global economy (84% agree), followed by Australia (80%), Italy (78%), Russia (76%), Canada (76%) and France (73%). While still a majority, citizens of the United States (62%) and the United Kingdom (60%) were less likely to agree. An analysis of the demographic profiles by country suggests that those in the higher income brackets are more likely to agree that the virus will have an impact on the financial markets.

A majority in each of the countries surveyed believe the outbreak will not be contained any time soon. Less than one in ten believe the virus is contained now, while about seven in ten state that the outbreak will take several months or longer to contain. This view is highest in Japan with 88% indicating that containment will take several months or longer and lowest in Russia and the U.S. (60% in each country).
